Hives

Urticaria, or hives, are small bumps on the skin which resemble bug bites or red or white welts on the skin that appear suddenly. They can include symptoms like mild to intense itching, swelling and pain, and often appear on the face, neck and upper chest and back, but can develop anywhere on the body.

Chronic hives can last for six weeks and recur over the span of several months or years.
